[QUOTE="klmno, post: 261780, member: 3699"] I tend to agree that as long as he's able to handle this, then keep it the way it is. Maybe he can expand on the flexibility in the future, as he gets a little older. As far as diagnosis's and needed structure- I personally think that structure can be imprtant with mood disorders, too and I believe that the profs are way too far away from being able to accurately diagnosis Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and BiPolar (BP) in young kids unless it is an extremely obvious case. That doesn't mean I don't think it exists- they both do- or that it can never be correctly diagnosis'd. It's just that this is coming up way too often for me to see it as anything other than a very "muddy line" between the two. So, if it were me, I wouldn't worry so much about the diagnosis as long as difficult child was getting the necessary accommodations at school and so forth. [/QUOTE]
